On Day 2 of the IPL 2025 Auction, franchises secured both national and international cricketers, with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) purchasing Venkatesh Iyer for INR 23.75 crore.
Rishabh Pant made history as the most expensive player in IPL history, with Lucknow Super Giants acquiring him for a staggering INR 27 crore.
As always, the auction attracted a mix of high-profile and lesser-known personalities. However, a girl sitting at the KKR table caught the attention of social media users, sparking curiosity about her identity.
While many praised her appearance, others speculated that she could be a friend of Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan.
It has since been revealed that the girl is Jahnavi Mehta, the daughter of Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla.
Notably, Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan co-own the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Jahnavi Mehta is the daughter of Juhi Chawla and her husband, billionaire Jay Mehta, whose wealth is estimated at INR 2,400 crore. Jay Mehta is the chairman of The Mehta Group, valued at INR 4,171 crore.
In previous interviews, Juhi Chawla mentioned that Jahnavi has no interest in pursuing a Bollywood career but is passionate about cricket, often getting excited whenever the sport is discussed.
Jahnavi made history in 2018 by becoming the youngest person to attend the IPL auction at the age of 17.
